General
Attachment A shows the work process for Constructability.
When the scope of this procedure is performed (in full or in part) by clients/owners, contractors,
subcontractors, etc., the PFE and PFS ensure the minimum control activities are assigned to the
responsible entities and documented on the Multi-Entity Work Process DOR form shown on
Attachment B.
This responsibility may fall to the CC if the PFE and PFS are not on the project at this stage.
It is recommended that every effort be made to have the client/owner take an active leadership role in
all phases of the Constructability program.

No. 4MP-T81-01206 REV. 2
CONSTRUCTABILITY
PAGE 7 OF 48
Communication and cooperation between the Constructability team are greatly improved if the
Construction Coordinator is co-located with the design team.
The forms located in the Attachment section of this procedure may be modified at the discretion of the
PFE.
Initiating the Constructability Process

a. On successful projects, Constructability begins during the bidding process. Team members work jointly
to identify opportunities to be competitive. The Proposal Manager and his/her team develop an execution
strategy that includes Constructability input from a Construction representative.
b. Every effort should be made to incorporate a project execution strategy that optimizes quantities,
equipment, and labor hours. To this end, the CC will ensure that Constructability related requirements
that affect quantities and budgets of other Functions are identified to those affected Functions in time to
support their estimates.
c. During the proposal stage, the description of the constructability process must be presented to the
client/owner as one of Bechtel Constructions strengths and if Bechtel Engineering is not involved with the
project, the constructability program must be presented such that the client/owner should add
Engineering constructability responsibilities to the party undertaking Engineering scope of work so that a
Constructability program can be successful.
d. Typically, one or more CCs are dedicated to large-scale projects. The CC generally has extensive
construction experience (as either a Field Engineer or Superintendent) and is very knowledgeable of work
and construction means and methods. The CC may draw upon additional construction expertise and
resources as needed. All Constructability recommendations, suggestions, and ideas are introduced into
the project’s Constructability program through the CC.
Depending on the scale and complexity of the project, the PM assesses discipline specific skillsets
required to implement an effective Constructability program. The PM considers deploying a multi-
disciplinary CC team to support constructability efforts of all major commodities, including effective
implementation of Construction lessons learned from past projects. It is also recommended that a
qualified Rigging Engineer shall be assigned to CC team to facilitate rigging and heavy haul related
inputs at the early stage of the project.
6.2.1 Construction Home Office Team

The Construction Home Office Team includes the Construction Execution Team, Construction
Planner (CP), CC(s), and Construction function support.
The number of CP(s) and CC(s) assigned to a project is determined by the home office service hour
budget as well as the size of the Engineering, Procurement, and Contract project teams.
The CP and CC will work in the Home Office until Engineering is 90% complete or as determined by
PM.
The PFE or PFS may be designated as the Lead CC on a project with multiple CCs.
The Corporate Construction Function will provide training to CCs as required.
The following sections denote who has responsibility: PM – Project Manager; CC – Construction
Coordinator

No. 4MP-T81-01206 REV. 2
CONSTRUCTABILITY
PAGE 8 OF 48
6.2.2 PM / CC – Constructability Program Initiation

The Project Manager (PM), in conjunction with the CC, initiates the Constructability program during
the bidding stage and if required, identifies the required Constructability information that must be
supplied by non-Bechtel entities. This information is to be included in the contracts that will be issued
by Bechtel, the Client/Owner, or other parties involved for the Constructability program.
The CC ensures the following activities are part of the initiation of the Constructability process
(program):
1. Establish Constructability budget and schedule.
2. Identify Constructability team members.
3. Hold Constructability training and orientation.
4. Develop and approve Constructability Plan and DOR.
5. Develop and coordinate the completion of the Constructability Checklist (Appendix C).
6. Identify key design deliverable that will be required throughout the Constructability program.
7. Provide continuous review and input of the Engineering 3D Model as it is being developed.
8. Provide daily input to the evolving design specifications, engineering drawings, vendor submittals,
subcontract documents, and purchase orders.
9. Identify if and to what extent Constructability metrics will be used to manage the Constructability
process.
10. Maintain a Constructability Suggestion Log (Appendix D), or project equivalent (a Project
Engineering team member may share the responsibility of maintaining this log).
The Construction Functional Manager identifies and staffs the Constructability Team Member
positions.
The Bechtel Constructability Handbook and the Bechtel Construction Coordinators Handbook,
available on the Corporate Construction Web site under Tools & Handbooks, provide a valuable
resource for establishing a vibrant Constructability Program. The Bechtel Constructability Handbook
includes a Constructability Barriers Analysis and Constructability Self-Assessment worksheets.
Further, the handbook includes other options the project may elect to use such as a newsletter to
highlight achievements and savings. The Construction Industry Institute (CII) is another valuable
resource for Constructability program information.
The PM should also make efforts to have an owner representative(s) as well as key supplier and
subcontractors participate as Constructability team members.
Within 30 days of FEED or EPC award, identify when the Constructability Strategy and Plan are
required to be in place to as agreed to by the PM, SM, and/or CC. The CP is to input associated
milestones into the project schedule.
6.2.3 PM / CC– Constructability Training and Orientation (Kickoff meeting)

As early as possible in the conceptual phase of the project, ideally after the key Constructability team
representatives have been identified, the PM should initiate and participate in a Constructability
awareness training and orientation team meeting (i.e., a “kickoff meeting”). The PM’s leadership role
in this meeting is to introduce the team, introduce the program, and emphasize the project’s
commitment to the process. As part of the meeting agenda, the Constructability awareness training is
conducted by the CC.
Attendance at the meeting may include the following:

No. 4MP-T81-01206 REV. 2
CONSTRUCTABILITY

• Construction Coordinator
• Project Engineer and design discipline leads
• Materials Manager
• Project Supply Chain Manager
• Workface Planning Manager and Workface Planner
• Project Startup Manager
• Project Controls Manager
• Owner representatives
• Environmental Safety & Health
• Construction Lead representatives (if assigned to the project)
• SMEs (including Rigging and Operations and Maintenance representatives)
• Major Subcontractor or vendor representatives (if known)
The PowerPoint presentation with Bechtel University course is an excellent source of training material
for use by the CC in conducting this training session. This training should be repeated as new
members join the project team.
6.2.4 Constructability Strategy

The Constructability strategy is developed during the Constructability kick-off meetings.
Constructability strategy to be used as the basis for developing the Constructability Plan and
Constructability checklists.
The following identifies key focus areas which may be addressed within the Constructability strategy:
• Site Layout (Temporary and Permanent)
• Temporary Facility Design
• Modularization / Pre-assembly Plan
• Underground Plan
• Piping / Test Package / Work Package Program
• Lessons Learned and Best Practices
• Major Vendor Package
Commentary: The following should be considered during development of the Constructability Strategy
to produce a Return on Investment:
1. Subdivide the Constructability Program’s focus into the following areas:

• “As Sold” Performance which includes execution plans, contract requirements,
design document requirements, SWPPs for execution, institutionalized
constructability concepts/check lists, unique project factors, etc.
• Innovation which includes new improvements and processes as well as new
Lessons Learned and Best Practices.

No. 4MP-T81-01206 REV. 2
CONSTRUCTABILITY
PAGE 10 OF 48
2. Utilizing a “Curve of Influence” model, ensure the correct constructability resources

are utilized at the optimal time in the project to have the greatest affect.
• For example, addressing Engineering related constructability items during the design
phase before Procurement, Construction, and Startup items will provide the highest
rate of return.
• Concurrently, Startup related constructability items can be addressed once
construction has begun and will still provide a high rate of return. Refer to the “Curve
of Influence” model in the Commentary for clarification.
3. Minimize engineering rework by ensuring suggestions, ideas, and required reviews

are communicated before or during the development of Engineering / Construction /
Procurement / Startup deliverables.
• This requires close involvement and open communication at the Constructability
Status Meetings between Engineering, Procurement, Startup, CC, and the CET.
6.2.5 PM / CC – Constructability Plan and Responsibility

A project-specific Constructability Plan is developed by the CC and approved by the PM and SM.
The project Constructability Plan should identify those elements of the Constructability process the
project will implement: Responsibility, Engineering deliverables or 3D Model review, documents
supplied by others, Constructability Suggestion reviews, log and suggestions, document reviews,
Constructability process review meeting, and any required metrics, etc.
The CC ensures a DOR matrix (Attachment B) is developed identifying roles and responsibilities of
the team members. Attachment E provides a typical breakdown of responsibilities. After
development, the PM will issue the matrix. The matrix is living document and is subject to revision as
the project develops.
As part of preparing the Constructability Plan the CC shall complete a Project Constructability
Checklist (Attachment C and Attachment G, if applicable) – this is a starting point of issues for the CC
to develop the project’s checklist. All issues are not applicable to all projects; issues shall be added
/removed as required.
• The CC requests input on the issues, the project’s direction on the issues (and any required
actions) and obtains approval from applicable department managers. Any issue that department
managers cannot agree on will be resolved by the PM or client/owner if required. The
Constructability Checklist is a living document and shall be maintained and reissued by the CC as
appropriate.
The CC develops and disseminates a document/3D Model review matrix to project functional
managers which specifies what documents and/or Engineering’s 3D Model the CC will review and
provide comments to, and when in the development of the documents.
• All efforts should be made to ascertain input when the design is still in the early development
stage. This includes Bechtel and vendor design documents, client/owner supplied Engineering
documents, purchase orders, subcontracts, etc. The Construction Constructability Team reviews
and provides comments on these documents and/or Engineering’s 3D Model, in accordance with
prime contract and project schedule requirements.
The CC coordinates with the PE for continuous input to the 3D Model and to issue the Engineering
deliverables to Construction and Startup in accordance with Engineering Department Procedure 3DP-
G04-00083, Design for Safe Construction and Startup, Engineering Department Procedure, 3DP-
G04-00047 (EDP-47), Engineering Deliverables to Procurement, Construction and Startup,

CONSTRUCTABILITY
PAGE 11 OF 48
Engineering Department Procedure, 3DP-G04-00062 (EDP-62), Request for Information / Field

Change Document.
The CC maintains close communication with the Site Manager (SM) and other project members on
Constructability items to ensure that the construction execution plan and the Constructability items
are not in conflict, or that disagreements on execution can be reconciled before the project and other
functional organizations proceed with modifications to planning or designs.
The CC coordinates with Procurement to issue the SCAS.
6.2.6 CC – Constructability Suggestion Process

As an option, a written suggestion process may be developed and implemented by the CC
(Attachment F). It should show:
• when the suggestion was initiated
• who provided the suggestion
• description of the suggestion
• evaluation status of the item (accept/reject)
• cost/schedule savings information of accepted items
• who is responsible for incorporation of accepted items
• closure status of the item
Determine form and format for the Constructability Suggestion Form (Attachment F). The form may
include estimated cost and schedule information to support Constructability project established
metrics.
6.2.7 Project Constructability Log

The CC develops and maintains a Project Constructability Suggestion Log, Attachment D, by
reviewing the Greenfield and/or Brownfield Constructability Checklists (Attachment C and Attachment
G), Lessons Learned Database(s), other similar projects, available historical report databases,
sustainable construction Best Practices, project historical information, owner, vendor, or
subcontractor databases, etc., to generate a list of suggestions and ideas for use on the project.
The CC ensures the Project Constructability Log aligns with the project’s identified Constructability
Strategy and Plan. At a minimum the Project Constructability Log identifies constructability
questions/actions/items which ensure that the project’s design and execution aligns with the project’s
Constructability Strategy.
The CC may use Attachment C, Greenfield Constructability Checklist, and/or Attachment G,
Brownfield Constructability Checklist, as a starting point for the Project Constructability Log. As not all
checklist items are applicable to each project, items should be added or removed as required.
The Project Constructability Log is a living document and shall be maintained and reissued prior to
the Constructability Status Meeting by the CC as appropriate.
6.2.8 PM/CC - Constructability Metrics

The PM, with team input and PCM support, identifies what, if any, Constructability metrics the project
will track (Attachment H). Metrics for the project to consider include the following:
• Cost of a Constructability program and percentage of Constructability cost within the overall total
installed cost (TIC)

No. 4MP-T81-01206 REV. 2
CONSTRUCTABILITY
PAGE 12 OF 48
• Cost savings as a result of the Constructability program—savings calculated by comparing

estimated initial cost to revised cost from approved construction suggestions
• Constructability cost benefit ratio—ratio of Constructability savings to cost of the Constructability
program
The PM determines how cost and schedule savings interface with the project’s trend program.
If other metrics are required, the PM defines them and provides resources to process the data. The
tracking and status are not intended to be exhaustive scorekeeping efforts.
The CC provides the method and data for tracking the Constructability effort and relays this
information to project management, the Constructability team, and other organizations through the
use of the Constructability Suggestion Log (Attachment D) and Constructability Metrics (Attachment
H)
Tracking the project’s Constructability items is intended to provide the following functions:
• A basis for lessons learned to be incorporated into checklists and future Constructability
guidelines.
• Recognition of the value added to the project from implemented Constructability ideas.
• Insight into areas providing the greatest payback from the Constructability effort.
Managing the Constructability Process
In the following sections, responsibility is indicated as follows: PM = Project Manager; CC = Construction

Coordinator, Team = all Constructability team members.
PM/CC – The Constructability process as detailed below is an ongoing program that should continue
through the project’s life.
CC - Lessons Learned
During this initial phase of the Constructability program, the CC researches Construction Lessons
Learned (BecWicki Lessons Learned Portal) from similar projects executed in the past, other available
historical report databases, sustainable construction best practices, project historical information, owner,
vendor, subcontractor, or owner databases, etc., to generate a list of suggestions and ideas for use on
the project.
a. This list provides an initial input to the Constructability Log (Attachment D) which is initiated by the CC.
b. This input, along with the Constructability Checklist (Attachment C, Attachment G), facilitates initial
constructability meetings where new ideas are discussed, evaluation of ideas are implemented, and
incorporation of input is initiated.
CC (Primary)/Team (Support) – Constructability Meetings

a. While all team members have responsibility in processing Constructability items, the CC should focus on
open Constructability ideas to ensure that they are addressed in a timely manner.
b. Constructability meetings should be scheduled and coordinated through the CC, and should be focused
on acquiring, evaluating, and incorporating input, and closing items contained on the Constructability Log.
Meetings may include the entire team or be as few as two people.
c. Initial Constructability meetings should also be conducted as brainstorming meetings focusing on specific
areas of construction on the project. These sessions should be held as needed or as ideas need to be

No. 4MP-T81-01206 REV. 2
CONSTRUCTABILITY
PAGE 13 OF 48
expanded or examined in more detail. SME support at these brainstorming sessions is encouraged (see
the Bechtel Constructability Handbook, Chapter 2).
d. The CC must provide leadership in all Constructability meetings to stimulate the process and keep focus
on the ultimate goal of bringing new ideas into the process and improving project performance.
Attachment F is an optional Constructability Suggestion Form that assists with summarizing individual
ideas that may come from project personnel. Project personnel should be made aware of the form
and that the form is the vehicle that gets their ideas in front of the Constructability team and into the
Constructability meeting for evaluation. This form is not mandatory and can be counterproductive if
used improperly. The form should not be passed out en-masse to solicit suggestions; this type of
action often produces forced suggestions that provide minimal input and are generally disapproved.
e. Constructability meeting focus and agendas should evolve with the progress of the project, such that
initial meetings could include site layout and access, ES&H issues and extent of modularization.
f. Constructability suggestions are evaluated / discussed by the team and approved for implementation by
the PM, or designee if necessary.
6.5.1 CC (Primary) /Team (support) – Document Reviews

The review of drawings should not be the sole method of collecting comments from Construction or
other departments. Although drawing reviews generally provide Constructability input, efforts should
be made to ascertain input while design is still in development. The use of an interactive 3D model
for review and testing of ideas can facilitate the process and minimize the extent of hard copy
document reviews.
The CC coordinates with Engineering to issue the Engineering deliverables to Construction and
Startup and to provide continuous input to the 3D Model.
The CC will develop and implement the Constructability suggestion process (Attachment D).
6.5.2 Document Reviews

To minimize engineering rework, suggestions and ideas should be communicated before or during
the development of engineering deliverables and/or early development of the 3D Model whenever
possible. This requires close involvement and very open communication between Engineering,
Procurement, Contracts and the CC, ES&H, and other Constructability team members.
As the design develops, review of Engineering and Procurement deliverables begin to play a bigger
role in the Constructability process. The CC shall be included on distribution for all appropriate
design reviews, as noted in Section 6.2.4 (d). As a minimum the following items should be included
in the review:
1. Site, Civil and Structural drawings and specifications
2. Permanent Right of Way for roads and rail alignments and sections
3. Building Services (stations) all buildings layout, schematics and schedules
4. Special Systems layout, schematics and schedules
5. Supply Chain Assignment Schedule (SCAS)
6. Plant Design/Piping drawings that contain general notes, symbols and details
7. Plot plans and area plans

No. 4MP-T81-01206 REV. 2
CONSTRUCTABILITY
PAGE 14 OF 48
8. Specifications relating to field installation of piping and pipe supports

9. Field Weld locations (If Isometrics are required for routed pipe installations)
10. If possible, the CC should place the field weld in the model directly
11. Mechanical Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), equipment specifications and
equipment purchase orders
12. Standard installation details of all commodities
13. Project Specifications
14. Supplier drawings that have content related to construction erection/installation
15. Electrical and Instrumentation & Controls (I&C) drawings that contain general notes, symbols and
details
16. Model review comments, and interface requirements
17. Materials quantity reviews.
18. ES&H issues
Engineering, Procurement, and, Contracts and/or Client/Owner will provide the CC with a
Coordinating Print/File (this file may be electronic) to be used for developing and recording comments
and reviews prior to the document being signed off or approved.
The CC approves or comments on the Coordinating Print/File and returns it to Procurement,
Contracts, Client/Owner and Engineering (if necessary Engineering will consult with the CC for further
explanation) and incorporates comments/remarks into the design. Engineering shall allow a
reasonable amount of time for this review and comment period.
In addition to document or drawing reviews, CC and CC team will attend 3D Model reviews and
provide construction’s input on constructability, plant layout, construction access, accessibility and
operability of components and any other potential issues in design that will negatively impact
construction productivity and or increase ES&H risk exposure.
• These observations may be noted on the Constructability log and also captured as Model Review
Tag for further resolution.
Results of document reviews will be shared at Constructability review meetings if appropriate. Issues
arising but not resolved during document reviews will be brought to the attention of the PM for prompt
resolution.
In the case of comments/input being provided on supplier/vendor drawings, the CC will place the

resolving/incorporating the CC’s comments/input into the finalized vendor/supplier designs.
The CC and Rigging Engineer shall prepare a project-specific document to convey shop assembly
and modularization requirements, including any transportation/lifting limitations. Engineering, and
client/owner shall include this document in “issued for bids” material requisition packages, as
applicable, so that bidders can consider the requirements as part of their offer.
Relying upon a specification statement such as, “the supplier shall shop assemble (the item) to the
maximum extent possible” without specifics should be minimized.
The CC shall participate in the review/approval of appropriate material requisitions and contracts and

6.5.3 PM / CC – Constructability Process Review Meetings
Regularly scheduled review meetings shall be established by the PM/Client/Owner, in coordination

with the CC, allowing project management to periodically review the Constructability process, provide
support to improve the process, provide input and resolution to barriers impeding progress of
Constructability items and provide input to rewards and recognition.
At a minimum these meetings should include a review and status of open items on the
Constructability log as well as results and/or unresolved issues arising from Constructability reviews.
Attendance at review meetings should include the Constructability team members and appropriate
department/discipline leads with responsibility for any open items.
The review meeting is structured to not only focus on expediting individual open items but also
addressing key elements of the process such as:
• Are we collecting timely input from the best sources?
• Are we conducting objective evaluations of the input?
• Are items being consistently incorporated into the project?
• How are we dealing with significant concerns?
• What are our significant accomplishments?
The meeting should also include a status review of project established Constructability metrics.
• PM / CC – the Constructability Process as detailed above is an ongoing program that should
continue through the life of a project.
CC – Constructability Completion and Close-out

a. The CC ensures all approved Constructability suggestions are tracked to completion and the log is closed
out.
b. The CC completes Constructability metrics and provides a final report to the PM, and Client/Owner if
required.

Consider following in Anchor Bolt design:
1) Have major equipment suppliers provide anchor bolt
templates (stack foundation, compressors, tanks, etc.)
2) Utilize epoxy anchors or expansion anchors for
equipment pads where possible, or use anchor bolt
sleeves for cast in place anchors, especially on anchor
bolts > 1” dia. Allow the bolts to be installed after the
skids are set and aligned to permit the skids to be
moved at installation to facilitate pipe fit-up.
(Special consideration must be taken for rebar
interferences with post installed anchors. Consider
ordering equipment bases with slotted holes.)

4) In slab areas with potentially heavy equipment
traffic, consider embedded anchor details that do not
extend above the surface of the concrete. Use anchor
bolts with sleeve nuts / Coupler or commercially
available anchor details that provide for surface
mounting and lateral adjustment of anchors.
5) Ensure anchor bolts are either embedded within the

surface(s) on applicable drawings. Also, specify that
machining is to be done after shop fabrication. (Fabrication
welding can cause the machined surface to warp).
Consider columns and vessels are completely dressed out
where possible. Support the columns in the horizontal
position and install all practical material and equipment prior to
erection. This reduces the need for scaffolding and reduces
the risk of accidents caused by work being performed in
